More Than Half of U.S. Adults Have No Living Will

According to a survey conducted by the Find Law website, up to 61 percent of adults living in the U.S. do not have a living will. This means that should these individuals become incapacitated at some point, there is nothing documented that outlines how they would have wanted their care to be handled or what decisions they would want to be made on their behalf. This underscores the importance of estate planning, and in particular, working with a professional organization on drafting a Phoenix living will.

A Phoenix living will gives a medical care provider permission to take certain steps when it comes to end of life – or even life sustaining – care. For instance, if you are someone that would not want to linger on a life support system, without the presence of a Phoenix, Arizona living will, your loved ones may go against that wish inadvertently. When you work with a professional organization like Family First Estate and Corporate Services, these are the types of considerations that they may bring to your attention when filling out such a document and when you are engaging in general estate planning for your future.
